ortiz tune on beefcake

[mejohn50]

I would love to make it at all purpose fun car but according to a lot of comments on this forum its one way or the other.

This can be done. My car has a “track” focused set of dampers and springs along with an alignment meant for the autobahn (did the suspension/alignment when I lived in Germany and was consistently driving 150mph) and goes mid-10s/high-130s in the 1/4 easily with just a rear tire change from street to drag tires. Is it a compromise? Sure, I could optimize it towards one discipline, but I don’t get paid to race so I’m doing what’s fun for me.

This is around what I would like. A car I can drive to a road course, pull a few laps, make a wheel/tire change & tear down the strip. Not looking to break records, just enjoy the car for what it is, a toy.

I have a Whipple, not sure how great that would be on a road course. But if you’re staying NA, or you temper your expectations on heat management with boost, you can have a toy that will be a blast at an HPDE and on a drag strip.

Thanks for the renewed hopes my friend! Looks like I'll have to relook at my game plan now. I had a whippled 14 & it was a blast as well. But as you said, not like we get paid to race, I don't want this one to be one dimensional, not that there is anything wrong with that. But not like I have a dragstrip down the street. It's just a toy car & want to keep it in that direction

We offer tunes for bolt ons, flex fuel, and several other combinations. We have tuners in stock and can ship within a day. We also do not charge for revisions or datalogging, all you need is the tuner, no subscriptions or payments for added support. get the tunes today and decide to change it up a year from now? We will retune you for free.

We tune thousands of mustangs and with great success, we do in house development and have 50 state legal tunes available. Our tune process is simple and easy with minimal back and forth.

How much do you charge for a tune? I don't have the stock tune. Procharger p1x , fore L2 dual fuel system dw95 and MT82 stage 3 . My car is at Brenspeed in Indiana they're finishing up the install I just need a tune.

LUND is like the annoyingly loud blonde drunk chick at a party.

But hopefully not like the not-so-annoying loud blond who is being loud in your bed after the party.

 

[DougS550]

we could do a 93,e85,flex setup with device for $698 for you

I don't mean to butt in, But your prices are fare and that's all I ask. I don't want cheap for cheap when I was younger caused me so many head aches. I also will be coming to you this fall for a flex tune.

When you step back and look at it objectively, it's the natural progression of the "business."

All the major tuners started off as the local custom guy. They tune their own cars and a few others. Before you know it, more and more people are wanting custom tunes. They expand, franchise/remote with other shops that can remote install their sauce. They send files and street tune vehicles from thousands of miles away. Soon they start to get to where the phone won't stop ringing. What do they do? They stop taking phone calls. The only way you can communicate now is through an email/ticket system. They begin to "cut and paste" and why not? What works on one 2015 with an intake and long tubes should work the same on the exact same setup 4 states away. No need to reinvent the wheel when you've already invested the R/D and seat/dyno and street tuning time into perfecting that file.

By the end, what you end up with is a company that won't talk to you, treats you like a number/ticket, dictates to customers what they can and can't run on their car (and what they PREFER and makes THEIR LIVES EASIER and what they refuse to try to custom tune or even attempt). They ask you the SAME questions OVER and OVER and OVER, because the tuner that looks at your ticket is too lazy to actually read your file and it's just easier to ask you the same questions over than it is to read through all the back history (you know, actually treat you like a custom account rather than a cookie cutter deposit check). Then you grow cocky, you've seen more cars and builds than anyone else (in your mind) so you're always right, everyone else is a dumbass and has no idea what they're doing and if they're not doing it your way, they're just behind the times or a dumbass blazing trails in the wrong direction. You begin to take a default stance that every problem is a mechanical problem (could never be the tune, we're the best at this and we know what works and what doesn't work, our sauce has been tested on 100 other cars JUST LIKE YOURS). The problem is OBVIOUSLY your car, not our tune. We can't even conceive of the idea that it's physically possible for a tune to work on one car but have problems elsewhere. We looked at the logs and all the information we're experts at examining and those tea leaves tell us it's your fault. And if that's not true, like an insurance company, simply rejecting the first claim is always profitable. And why not, 99% of those rejections are valid. Oh, you're the 1% that's the exception, sucks to be you, if you complain we'll just sick our social media machine on you and all our nutswingers who had no problem will come out in droves defending us and calling you an idiot. We don't have individual customers anymore, we literally can't afford the time that takes. We just have computer files. If you're a sponsored race team or part of the cool guy club, you can call us on the phone, but if you're Johnny newbie, fuck off, send us a ticket (by the way, is this is a built motor? Oh, we've already asked you that 5 times before? So sorry, answer the fucking question AGAIN). Oh we don't run that setup, we've got relationships and backscratching to peddle. You'll run what we want or we won't tune you.

Lund is the natural progression of what happens to all tuners as they grow and grow and become too large to be custom.

For MOST people, their sauce is good. If you have a very common setup or you use one of their satellite shops, we'll coach you through all the stuff we like (that makes our job easy and keeps us getting free shit from said vendors). If you have anything REMOTELY custom or cutting edge (sorry, that's too much work for us...kick rocks, you're an idiot and we know better than everyone else.

If you want to communicate with a tuner based off your individual car, I'd suggest finding someone close to you or that hasn't grown into a shop with a fleet of tuners. If you have a cookie cutter setup, buy with confidence, but down the road, you may regret the dead end that comes with (it's your car not our tune, do it our way, no we won't tweak it to your request, we know better than you, fuck you it's your car if it blows up (which is always the case by the way, even if you do exactly as they say, no we won't mess with the rear 02's we're already a target by the shitheads at the EPA so don't ask us again).

I had a flex tune and a dedicated race tune. Flex tune ran just fine. E85 tune kept throwing limp mode randomly. Swore it was my car. Loaded the flex tune back and never had an issue again. Wanted to have them tune me and said if I'm not runing the fuel setup they want it's a no go. So I got tuned by a local guy to me who answers my phone calls, and brushes up my tune and listens to my feedback and is there for my custom needs. I ain't mad at Lund, it's probably how I'd run a business too if I had a huge burden and overhead to feed.

Are you running e85? what size pumps and feed line, are you using the FC3? what year car and what pulley do you have on there?

Will be waiting a bit longer, need to make sure the car is not a dud before I void the warranty. Also E85 gets crappy in the winter & would rather purchase the tune & data log once the content gets better in the spring time. Thank you!

exactly the position i’m in. bought my car the 18th with 16,715 miles and now i’m at 17,600 miles. probably a couple thousand more miles and i’ll start bolt ons and tuning. still deciding between tricky and ortiz though

I heard of Tricky performance before, asked for a quote for my Gen one for rods & pistons & never heard from them. Emailed them again & nothing. Tried a 3rd time & I believe he personally called me & apologized, said they were swamped but that he would get my quote out to me. Never heard from them again. Ended up buying a Gen 2 short block instead. But I heard Shoemaker is a Wiz tuner, idk if he still with them or tunes jointly with PBD. I'm like 5.5 hrs away from OKC. I been slowly installing bolt on that won't void my warranty. About to do vertical links & differential bushing inserts this weekend & will probably go for the 1 piece drive shaft over the holiday sales. I don't know if headers can be installed with out a tune or if they void warranty.

I was also considering Habibi sauce tuning on instagram, he is an hour and a half from me. He dyno tuned my brothers 6th gen camaro 6speed manual headers/intake/flex fuel and it came out to 469 to the wheels. I might just go to him instead. He's a pretty good tuner in my area and remote tunes too, I think he holds the record for a stock blower ZL1. There's a vid of a A10 gen 3 on there and hearing the shifts is so satisfying.

That's awesome man, I live in SW Kansas & have no options of any tuners. I think the closest dyno is OkC or KC so pretty much my only options are email tunes.
